As someone who grabbed him on the wire in a league with a two week 16 & 17 final, let me say that I currently have an erection

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
My opponent this week has Peterson and I have an erection because he may just play him.

Same. He is also playing Farrow so hopefully he has a nice timeshare with Hillman.

You guys think Forte is droppable at this point:? I need space for a kicker and I have to either drop Forte, the NE Defense, or the Texas Defense.

Anyone?

If your not going to play him and your not worried about him being used against you he's droppable.

Honestly I would hope someone would try and play him against me.

Peterson is going to be active but will probably sit this week anyway. Only roster him if you're in a league where you play week 17. He might be a league winner, but don't risk it if you need to win in week 16 to win a championship (like 95% of the fantasy world). Don't be an idiot

E: if your final is week 16 (like it should be) and you have a bench spot to burn, grab him JUST IN CASE he does some poo poo

Game theory is fun to laugh at, until the last week, then it's time to pay attention and play the game

Anyone starting Dwayne Washington this week? Looks like Riddick and Zenner could both be out and Stafford's playing with a broken finger, not a great matchup though against the Giants.

I would try very hard to start someone else, but if he's all you have, he's all you have.

Why are you rostering two defenses? The Patriots face the Broncos this week and the Jets next week. The Texans face the Jags and then the Bengals. I'd just roll with the Pats and dump the Texans?

This is the playoffs. This is the time of year to roster as much poo poo as you can that your opponent might use and that includes defenses with good matchups. I'm carrying two defenses on my playoff teams cause I just don't need that last guy on my bench anymore.

I would start the Giants D and avoid the Lions players. Can't start a Kenneth Dixon/Farrow instead?

It's for my flex so I have options (currently planning on Inman), just wanted to hear people's thoughts.

Inman looks like a good play this week with Oakland giving up so many points to WRs. Washington is averaging 3.1 yards which is pretty bad and the Lions just aren't built to run the ball in a way that would net him real volume. If Stafford's finger is a real problem, I think they'll struggle to move the ball overall and may project for one the lowest team scores this week.

Because facing the Jags and then Jets gives me the best chance of winning, and having Matt Forte on my bench did not. I would roster three kickers if I thought it would help me get an advantage.

it's actually finals of hte league because the league is old enough that starters sitting week 16/17 caused some lame finals a number of times in the past so we shortened it

Is anyone concerned about weather conditions at the Packers/Bears game? Not concerned enough to sit Rodgers, but possibly considering benching Jordy for a different WR with a good weather-free matchup.

If GB had a running game to go to sure, but they don't. Jordy will get lots of slants and such so for PPR I would think he is a must start. Standard is more of a question mark though.

I had the same Gore/Farrow decision to make in PPR and I'm going with Farrow. Farrow's pass protection isn't good enough at this point but Ronnie Hillman suuuuuuuuucks. I still think Farrow will get plenty of dumpoffs whereas I hate hate HATE Gore's matchup this week.
